Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nightfall" data-source="post: 577850" data-attributes="member: 374">Uhm I don't know where you heard this rumor but I think, once again, the grapevine line needs a repair man.What is actually happening IN January (or perhaps February) is they will be release Creature Collection 1 (not Catalog. Different beast all together), in a Revised format. The reason for this is because CC1 was going to finish out it's print run and they had a decision, send out a book filled with errors and then try to some how put out a massive errata, OR make a new book with some of the same monsters but with a few new features CC1 didn't have. One of those is now there will be an appendix for Templates, which will be from existing creatures, such as Hags, Morgaunts, Fatlings, and the Unhallowed.  Also they cut out a few creatures, such as the Herald of Vangal and Drendari's avatar since they are both now in the Divine and the Defeated (which is where they should be.) This was to make room for the two new appendixes. The second one will feature the racial stat modifiers for the PHB type races (dwarves, forsaken elves, gnome etc.) from both the SL DM's companion and the Termana Gaz. Also if you're wondering about such things, there will be ELC and racial stat adjustments for some of the monsters in the book (such as SL Harpies and Mantacori.) Finally the last appendix will appeal to those that always wondered "Gee how DO I fix in a Beholder, an Aranea, or even just a regular bugbear?" Much like what introduced in Relics and Rituals two, each monster will have a short one to two paragraph length entry about what titan they came from, some of their particular history if any, and also any favored regions they might be seen in. There is a corrected listing of CRs for Creature Collection 1 online. However with the release of CC Revised, that will become slightly unnessary. Creature Collection 2, as far as I know, doesn't need that kind of fix for the most part. (I mean do you really believe a Solar is a CR 19?) I hope that answers your question to some degree.</blockquote>
